Anyone fancy meeting up early for a convoy to the Fancott?

I remember in past years some of us met at jcton 14 Poyle industrial estate, this year we may have a guest VOA member flying in to Heathrow in the morning of the 6th (to be confirmed) I would be happy to leave home early and get some breakfast on route, anyone else fancy this?

Cool, I will keep you posted on the Timing :) Know any good places for Breakfast? We could cut over to Toddington using the M40 Beaconsfield route for a scenic drive or stick to M25, M1, there is the truckers Café near Bernie's place?

It looks like the company I work for is pushing my UK trop back 1 week. Now I won't be arriving until the 13th. It's very disappointing. I was looking forward to meeting you guys in Luton and seeing some UK vipers.

OH that's a shame, thanks for letting me know, I was waiting to see what you were up to before I set any sort of time :(

Dave what about 9am at Jcton 14 (that industrial estate parking area we used to use? Too early/late? Any idea on Cafe's Baz?

OK, So that's Dave out. So anyone else fancy a non motorway drive to the meeting point?

Please remember people, this is all open for debate :) I'm just offering an alternative to the normal.

Mark your welcome to join me on the motorway if you've no other takers

Sorry i wasn't keen on the earlier start, extra meal cost and extra fuel burn on the back roads, trying to keep the costs down a bit lol

No problem Dave, I thought Neil might have been around but he is otherwise engaged. I will watch the weather, I also planed to meet up with Steve S, but this is weather dependant.

Cheers Mark,

we will probably hit the M25 from the M3 at approx 10:15, give me a shout if your nearby and the other plans aren't working out.

It'll probably piss it down now as i washed the dust off today, so with a little bit of rain it will arrive in Luton dirtier than it was when i woke up this morning!!

Thanks all, and I am deeply humbled to receive the cup for contributions to the club, So many have done so much previously (and ongoing) for this club and I feel honored to have been the first recipient.

I guess i better get on and sort out the sexy bits of the website, but in the mean time there are some Luton lunch pics here (http://www.driveviper.co.uk/articles/luton_lunch_2014/luton_lunch.html)

Thanks Mark

Lets not forget to mention and thank Ade for the jackets, they came out great, and baz for organizing another great Luton lunch, Just a shame after a bit of sun recently we caught the damp day even after moving it back a few weeks in hopes of better weather, well i suppose it wasn't as cold and IIRC on the usual weekend there were hail storms this year.

Glad you hear you had a good day with no rain. I wish my UK trip hadn't been delayed a week. I would had loved to been there.
